Did you know that the State of Florida now prohibits anonymous code compliance complaints, unless the violation presents an imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare or imminent destruction of habitat or sensitive resources? Here’s the law:

“CS/SB 60 (2021) – County and Municipal Code Enforcement

This means that you may not file a complaint against a neighbor without giving your name and phone number. Although this law helps in decreasing the number of frivolous or malicious complaints, it also leaves you exposed to possible altercations or just plain ‘bad vibes’ with your neighbors.

You can now avoid possible issues with your neighbors by hiring our private investigation agency to document and send in the complaint under the name of our agency. We do all the hard work for you! The process is simple. You give us the address of the code violation and we will go to the location and document it via pictures and/or videos. Our investigators MUST be able to witness the violation and document it. We cannot trespass on private property, so the violation must be able to be documented from a public area or from the property of someone who will authorize us to enter. Once the code compliance violation is documented, we will submit it to the appropriate city department under our name. We will follow up with the department until they perform their investigation and reach a conclusion, at which point we will contact you and deliver the findings. 

It’s important to note that under Florida law, as licensed private investigators, we are not allowed to disclose our client’s identities to anyone (police and government agencies included). By filing the code complaint through our agency, your anonymity is 100% protected by law!
